Re: [orion-dev] HTML Outliner

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Even for my home website (which is just about as simple a page as you can get), I ended up with a lot of entries...



So, of course, the first thing I looked for was a "twisty" to hide/show the substructure(s).

It feels like what you really want is something between the two views; i.e. you want the "interesting" bits of hierarchy, with the actual IDs called out. What do other tools do for this?

While we're on the subject, the latest version of the CSSLint plugin now provides an outline view for .css files. (It's just a flat list of the rules in your file, but does help with navigation.)
The plugin URL is here:

Just install the plugin and then select "HTML Outline" from the drop-down at the top of the outline area. You can install this into Orion 0.3 or later. If you are editing HTML in Orion, please give it a try and send feedback here or open bugs in Orion bugzilla.

I also looked at doing HTML syntax validation, but it turns out the JSLint HTML validation that Mark recently enabled is pretty good. It covers all the basic cases like malformed elements, elements under the wrong parent, etc. The only downside is that it doesn't recover in the face of syntax errors so you have to fix structural problems one at a time. I haven't yet found a _javascript_-based HTML validator that does anything more sophisticated than this.
